Today, the world is more interconnected and interdependent than ever. Globalization, Terrorism, pandemics, climate change, poverty, human rights violations, financial crises, the rise of artificial intelligence, all affect us independently of the country or continent we live in. We are now in a moment of unprecedented change. Historically, evolution has been in nature’s hands. Today, conversely, it is largely in human hands, but we need to be careful, using technology, cooperation and scientific progress as forces for good. The future of humanity is at stake.
